This plan does not require a Civil Engineers or Architects "seal" and may be prepared by a "designer". Customers are encouraged to use a professional, as they are typically familiar with plan preparation and the submittal process. Plan preparation shall describe and include:

The invert elevation of proposed sewer tap at the property line.

The proposed location of the sewer tap dimensioned to the property line.

"Offsite Sewer Tap" plans shall be submitted for review to the One Stop Shop upon payment of the plan review fees (miscellaneous civil review).

Review, Approval, Permitting, and Development Fees

Plans will be reviewed by the Plan Review Division and either approved or returned to the applicant for corrections.

Upon plan approval, the applicant and or applicant's representative / contractor, must apply for, and receive an Encroachment Permit prior to commencing any construction within the ROW. Encroachment fees are based on the quantities described in items "c" and "d" above including the minimum encroachment fee.

For properties or applicants requesting new sewer service to an undeveloped property, or, conversion from on-site sewer systems (septic tanks) to public sewer, payment of "Sewer Development Fees" is required.
